James O'Connell

Branch Manager, Ireland

Email

I lead our team here in Ireland, focusing on meeting our customer’s day to day and project driven requirements, with a rivalled service, provided here from our office and stockholding facility in Dublin.
Industry Experience

24 years’ in the pipe and fittings industry, starting out as a junior stock controller for a multi metal stockholder here in Dublin, progressing through various roles and developing business over the years, primarily through the water, dairy, brewery and pharmaceutical industries in Ireland.
Specialisms / Work Interests

With 2022 bringing me my fifth year with IPS Flow Systems I have an ever growing interest in thermoplastics specifically for the dairy, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
Work Based Superpower

I was born and blessed with the ‘gift of the gab’ (so I’m told!) and I utilize this superpower best with my continued desire to educate, inform and promote the portfolio of products here at IPS Flow Systems through good communication, training and presentations - best practiced through continuous engagement with our Customers.
Outside Of Work

Immensely proud Dad to 2 boys, I’ve a keen interest in stage acting, sport and getting out for walks – my preference being sea and coastal treks! My new favorite place in the world (thanks to my beloved partner for introducing me to this hidden gem) is Dunmore East, Co. Waterford -  I’d highly recommend the coastal cliff walk.  

I also look forward to starting an evening course in psychology and criminology later this year.
